Columbian Lawyers get a look at arraignments from a judge’s perspective
The Columbian Lawyers Association of Brooklyn hosted Criminal Court Judge Miriam Cyrulnik Wednesday for its latest Continuing Legal Education (CLE) seminar, held at Rex Manor in Dyker Heights. Speaking to a crowd of more than 100, Cyrulnik delivered a speech titled “Arraignments from a Judge’s Perspective.”
“Judge Cyrulnik is one of the most dynamic speakers for any kind of CLE, which is the reason why we invited her to speak,” said President of the Columbian Lawyers Association RoseAnn C. Branda. “She really knows how to capture a room’s attention. She is an excellent judge who is extremely well-respected in Kings County, and has been sitting on the criminal side for quite a while.”
An arraignment is the formal reading of the criminal charges brought against a defendant, where the defendant is expected to enter a plea.
